Hi guys! I just re-installed Freelancer after I stumbled across an old screenshot on my hd. I remembered I had never finished it when I played it years ago, so I plan to do that now (hope I manage this time...).
My problem is that the screen fonts are far too big. The description of objects in space is so long I cant read it completely. The names of weapons or actions in keyboard config menu are so long they overlap the mapped keys. Etc. etc... I installed the Quickfix as suggested here but it didn't change anything. I also tried changing values in /FONTS, but didn't help either. So, thanks for any advice... ![]()

Sounds like your Freelancer installation not setup the font which Freelancer used.
Search Agency FB, download it and install it, then see is the problem solved. BTW: If you see something like <XML> in the text, you need to install the XML Parser. You can found it in your Freelancer CD\REDIST folder,

Not sure if I should open 2 more threads or simply put it here... I have 2 more questions now:
- What's the easiest way to make FL appear in 16:10 on my monitor? I read about some ways, but as with the screen font, maybe there is a simpler solution than editing inis etc... - Gameplay-wise I have to say that I'm having the same problems as last time... Already in the 3rd job assignment I tried, I simply died, repeatedly. ![]() ![]()

In the arms dealer there are 4 categories. After you opened the trade window, look...eh, wait a sec. http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt7sjq.png Since you are complaining that you die to fast you surely want also to check if there are better shields and ships aviable for you.

Verdammt, I had really overlooked the categories at the dealer... Please don't tell anyone!
![]() The widescreen mod also works very well, thanks for that as well! While we're on it, are there also mods for... - improving space station textures? The game doesn't look bad at all considering its age, it's just the space stations (and buildings on planets) that hurt the eye a bit... ![]() - temporarily decreasing difficulty? Since the save points are 20 minutes apart, it's a bit annoying when you only have 1 hour to play, and have to play the same 20 minutes including cutscenes again and again. So, just in case I run into further problems... - free saving, that would be best of course... This makes you realise how easy the games of today have become... Don't require the same amount of thinking. Yesterday, I somehow launched into space without shield - it was too late when I realised... ![]() Thanks for all the support, I'll recommend this site to Spock! ![]() PS: Reply notification doesn't seem to work though, but no big deal.
